Validation of selected phages binding on RMS cells <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i>. by Katarina Hajdin (249498)

“…Data are presented as percentage of maximal phage binding obtained in the absence of synthetic peptide. Error bars indicate mean ± SD from three independent experiments. Binding of phage RMS-P3 decreases significantly with increasing concentrations of synthetic peptide RMP-P3 (least-squares regression, N = 18, r² = 0.889, b = −17.5, p<0.0001), but not for control peptide (N = 18, r² = 0.0002, b = 0.055, p = 0.959).…”

Effect of Nic on BDNF synthesis and release in HBO cells and HEK293 cells. by Jie Qian (565984)
